What has Apple to do with this? Looks like a Sony-only vendetta to me.

George Hotz is the guy who jailbroke the iPhone.

But that's so unimportant that it wasn't even mentioned in the article you posted.

And your point being? He jail broke the iPhone and Apple then went ahead and tried to have Jailbreaking deemed illegal and lost that battle in court.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Unfortunately, we don't have rights anymore. Especially not in far right states where the Patriot act is actually used.

Indeed. The guy has a medical license for pot and gets arrested for having pot.

I think the 'war on drugs' should be ended and pot should simply be like cigs and heavily taxed.

I agree lol

Actually, it is mentioned in the article. I didn't read it initially, just did a Ctrl+F search for "Apple". Looks like you didn't read it either.

I read the snippet from here and then decided to then post the entire article rather than bits and pieces.

The whole weight of the chocolate considered as pure pot to charge him with felony instead of misdemeanor, or even less? Is the sheriff stupid, ignorant or in bad faith? US justice is seriously fucked up...
